Our "Work for Orphans" program for volunteers is aimed at helping these organizations do more for these disadvantaged children. You can render invaluable help by giving them love and affection, teaching them basic conversational English, helping them in their school subjects, guiding them about personal hygiene and sanitation, taking them out on small excursions and engaging them in extra curricular activities.
It would be an unforgettable and soul enriching experience for you which may compel you to return again and again to these orphans.
Once you get over the initial culture shock of coming and working in Mongolia, you will realize that helping the orphans will give you immense satisfaction. A typical volunteer helping in an orphanage would help the children with their day to day activities such as: doing homework, making notes, playing with children, helping staff organize the orphanage, providing mental and physiological support, exchanging cultural views, teach them English and music.
About 140 kids are living in the Orphanage center.

One of the things you notice in Ulaanbaatar is the enthusiasm of everyone to learn some English. This is particularly apparent in the local karaoke bar where businessmen may well be found booming out a stirring rendition of the Beatles "Yesterday"!
Description:
When you arrive at your school in Ulaanbaatar, don't be surprised if you find an old "communist-style" concrete structure with basic facilities, but clean and functional. The stark buildings certainly don't reflect the nature of the people. Our Projects Abroad Mongolia staff will introduce you to a friendly supervisor, usually one of the English teachers at the school, and lots of enthusiastic students.
Your main role is to help the local teachers by teaching the conversation part of their lessons. Although language is the aim, many of your lessons will also be opportunities for cultural exchange. We work mainly with 13-to-17 year-olds - the perfect age to spend English lessons talking about football, current affairs and pop music! Find out about what Mongolians really think about fashion or whether they celebrate Christmas - with around 35 students in a class there'll be plenty of discussion to fill your lesson!
The exchange works both ways because teenagers in Mongolia are generally curious to find what life is like in the West. Sandwiched between China and Russia, you will find their perception of life outside the vastness of Asia and Eastern Europe is interesting - they always have plenty of questions for our volunteers.
